Mapleshade SilClear
Yenkochris,I use deoxit and or deoxit gold for cleaning oxidation and as contact enhancement.I can't really recommend Silclear makes a gummy mess no matter how careful you apply it.Kenny. 
Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned??
Mitch,Now it has been several yrs,But I sold my Kappa 9's to a good friend and I can go listen to them about anytime I want.I did a refoam and crossover upgrade for the cost of parts 4 yrs ago and he usually gets to borrow gear from me.The Kappa's...

Vintage Klipsch Khorns. 
Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help.
Oh my,The advice in trouble shooting a class d Amp just blows my mind. 
The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!!
How about a big honking pair of Tannoy's,The Chinese seem to like them near field in their little crowded living spaces.Kenny.

Nope,I have my own Tekton room in my house everyday.Sorry I couldn't resist that one.Kenny. 
interesting link to Class D amp clones from Audioholics
Quite a lot but most have moved on from Ice modules and use others.Diy guys do the same with Nelson's first watt designs as well,but they generally have his blessing.It's not just amps either I've seen and heard some very outstanding sounding spea... 
Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp
Mark,There is no perfect Amp at least I haven't found one yet.They all have their own sound characteristics as you are finding out.That's why I like trying different ones and comparing and most of them I could live with and use a long time and be ... 
Peachtree Nova 300

Best integrated amp for Marten Miles 5
I would select either of the pass labs Intergrated amps for your speakers.Changing from the ma2275 they would have some warmth and smooth sound that you might miss.I have never heard anything that Vitus makes but I know they should be very good.Be... 
Avalon Acoustics Ascent MKii value?
I was  wrong on the weight they actually weigh 175lbs each,very heavy.All the Avalon brand models normally have very nicely finished veneered woodwork,somebody must have painted the pair you are looking at,possibly to hide flaws.This speaker was m... 
Avalon Acoustics Ascent MKii value?
For both,They are a good speaker but not avalons best and even though the new cost was about 25k They will be a tough sale used even if they are in very good shape.The woodwork needs to be very good and all drivers working properly,you probably wa... 
Avalon Acoustics Ascent MKii value?
$4500.00 to $5500.00 if they are a solid condition 8.Kenny. 
Avalon Acoustics Ascent MKii value?
I can respect that,I would'nt give more than $3500.00 and they would have to be a solid 8 in condition.I would proceed cautiously though because these are'nt the most desirable avalon's. They are a good speaker but not great.If you can get them at...
